The
Western
region
of New
South
Wales
is area
of choice
for
fine
country
heritage.
Many
towns
are
well-preserved
in a
region
whose
natural
credentials
include
crisp
mountain
air,
bushwalks,
wildlife
and
wilderness.
Towns
rich
in history
and
where
you
can
stay
on a
rural
property
or a
luxurious
guesthouse
are
Bathurst
and
Orange
in the
Western
Plains.
Both
are
handsome
country
towns
- a
legacy
of the
19th
century
goldrush
boom
- and
both
are
producing
impressive
local
food
specialities
such
as cool-climate
wines,
figs,
mushrooms,
berries
and
golden
trout.
A town
which
offers
a taste
of pioneer
life
is Dubbo,
gateway
to the
New
South
Wales
Outback.
There's
much
to explore
here
including
museums,
galleries
and
the
famous
Western
Plains
Zoo.
This
vast
region
in the
State's
far
west
offers
a taste
of outback
Australia
- sun-scarred
expanses,
spectacular
ranges,
a complex
mosaic
of plant
and
animal
life,
ancient
landscapes,
heritage
towns,
Aboriginal
culture
and
World
Heritage
listed
national
parks
